Customs and Border Protection has confirmed that, no, agents did not stop a Norwegian traveler who showed them a meme of a bald Vice President JD Vance.

“Fact Check: FALSE,” the CBP wrote on X. “Mads Mikkelsen was not denied entry for any memes or political reasons, it was for his admitted drug use.”

And no, the agency is not referring to Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, but rather the similarly named 21-year-old who was denied entry at Newark Liberty International Airport on June 11.

    Beans are delicious, toast is delicious, garlic butter is delicious and snails are a super weird delivery vehicle for that. I guess the French should always be a target.

      I mean, ice cream is good. Pizza is good. Doesn’t mean that they should be together. Lighthearted criticism is always pretty good. Us Americans have plenty of serious and light hearted criticisms made about us. The French and British are the only ones that compare in the lighthearted category. Let me make fun of the baguette eaters and Shittertonians.
